The winning painting named ‘People are Friends of the One-Horned Rhinoceros, is inspired by the death of a one-horned rhino that was shot in the leg in Cat Tien National Park last year. Through the painting, Linh wants to call on people, and especially children, to join hands to protect the rhino and other animals.
The contest which was launched by Wildlife at Risk (WAR) in collaboration with the Khan Quang Do (Red Scarf) newspaper in March to mark World Environment Day (June 5) received more than 1,000 paintings from children nationwide.
